Alberta border blockade hits province's energy, agriculture industries hard
CA, 12 Feb 2022
There is still no resolution in sight for the nearly two-week Alberta border blockade against COVID mandates.
Now there are warnings the prolonged disruption of the vital Canada-U.S. border crossing could soon deal a major blow on the provincial economy.
The Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters association said the blockades, including the one at Coutts, Alta., mean critical supplies like steel and electrical components are sitting at the border, taking longer to arrive as truckers try to bypass the protests or orders are being cancelled altogether.
Heather Yourex-West looks at how Alberta's agriculture and energy sectors are also hurting, as protesters remain defiant.
